Ted's

1046 Broad St., Meriden, CT - (203) 237-6660

I recently moved down here to Florida and the one thing I miss is being able to stop over at Ted's Restaurant for a couple of steamed cheeseburgers. I ate there many times over the years and they serve the absolute best. I would definitely give them a five star rating on their cheeseburgers. There is no comparison here in Florida and when I fly back to Connecticut for a visit, I will surely make Ted’s Restaurant one of my first stops.

What a delicious mess! I was able to eat about half of this hefty steamed cheeseburger before it completely disintegrated onto its paper plate. I ate the rest by picking and plucking at the pile of meat, bun, cheese, tomato, onion and lettuce.

Standard home fries, but the preparation and seasoned grill make them fantastic.

These big sticks of cheddar cheese are cut and cooked until jelly-soft in the steamer.

A monument of vapor-cooked meat and cheese ... impossible to pick up and eat without serious drippage.

The little rectangular metal trays are loaded with beef for the steamer box.  They look like mini-meat loaves.

Blocks of cheese are melted in the same trays as the beef.  It's a lot more cheese than you'd normally get on a burger.

Paul Duberek tends little pans of molten cheese and sizzling meat amidst clouds of aromatic steam from his vintage cooker.

World Famous? We'd bet most people have never even heard of a steamed cheeseburger, much less eaten one.

An opportunity to taste hambuger history ... although to most patrons, Ted's is just a friendly place to eat lunch.
